Personally this tour has been very dissapointing from an Australian point of view but from a cycling fans point of view. The parcours and the un-exciting race. Has anyone looked at the super strong field which will be present at the Vuelta. I'll give you some names and some betting odds to go with:
Alberto Contador $2.25
Ivan Basso $5.00
Samuel Sanchez $5.00
Alejandro Valverde $6.50
Robert Gesink $8.50
Levi Leipheimer $8.50
Igor Anton $8.50
Ezequiel Mosquera $10.00
Their will also be guys like Cadel Evans, Carlos Sastre (possibly), Alexandre Vinokourov (possibly) and maybe Denis Menchov.
This is a gun field with a great parcours. They have 2 time trials with 1 prologue, 5 mountain top finishes (with 1 up the Sierra Nevada which is 2550m in altitude and is a 17km climb. It also has a cat 1 climb right before it.) Also their are many other gruelling mountain stages and it all starts in Assen in Holland. Someone better give me a good reason why the Vuelta this year will not be better than the tour or as good as the Giro. It's going to be a cracker.
